Balloon Twisting Entertainment by Tobi McJunkin

When performing as a balloon artist, the audience will witness a variety of balloon creations from 3 foot crazy hats to Unicorns with a braided mane and golden horn. Each event is unique, so it is a performer's job to estimate the number of children at an event and provide balloons at a pace that will meet the needs of the client. Tobi has years of experience with large event balloon twisting and brings a very high level of professionalism and patience to the table. When dealing with hundreds of children, this is a crucial trait for any performing artist.

Tobi McJunkin, aka Lady Balloon, of San Tan Valley, Arizona is an award-winning balloon artist and provides balloon twisting at all types and sizes of events for all occasions. Tobi specializes in children's birthday parties but is available to larger events as well.

Tobi has two children of her own that continue to inspire her passion of balloon modelling. Each time a new children's movie comes out, a new balloon design must be made. Just the type of challenges that keep this lady motivated!

Since the majority of the type of venues a balloon twister will perform are birthday parties and corporate events, it is critical to have light (to see the balloon colors), space to allow a crowd of 50 children to gather or form a line, to have a chair or small table (to set a balloon bag at the correct height), and parental support (kids may need a friendly reminder of manners in a crowd and the balloon artist will be way too busy with the 3 children in front to be able to deal with this.)

LARGE EVENT?
Ending the line: All good things must come to an end and a balloon artist will need some help leaving the venue at the end of the time they were hired. This means closing the line approx 15 minutes early and having a staff member stand at the end of the line to deal with the parent that is not going to be happy when they can't get a balloon for their little boy. (Offering stickers, helium balloons used for the event decor, or other items of value can ease tension.) Also pre-arranging for the balloon artist to stay an additional 30 minutes, if needed, can help when there is a high demand.

Tickets: When you have a large crowd and need to ensure that children do not re-enter the line to receive additional balloons, handing out tickets is a good option.
